According to 2016 Cattle Baron’s Ball Co-Chairs Cara French and Andrea Weber,
“We are ‘Texas Proud’ at Cattle Baron’s! This year’s ball promises to be the biggest ever with Toby Keith on the Andrews Distributing Main Stage and Dwight Yoakum on the VIP and Live Auction stage. From humble beginnings 42 years ago when Patti Hunt and Jacque Wynne planned a Texas-style barbeque to raise money for the Park Cities branch of the American Cancer Society to this year’s over-the-top extravaganza at Gilley’s, the Cattle Baron’s brand is legendary.
“More than $68 million has been raised for cancer research since the beginning making Dallas’ Cattle Baron’s Ball the world’s largest single-event fundraiser for American Cancer Society research. And, this is the year to join our posse to raise millions more to help eradicate cancer. Sponsorships and tickets are still available for the Saturday, October 15th event. In return for your support, you will enjoy cocktails, dinner, gaming, silent and live auctions and pre-concert entertainment. The evening culminates with a heart-stopping concert by the legendary Toby Keith with seating for all guests.
“Our momentum is building, with the help of some very generous donors, including
